You already know what those reasons are, don’t you? If not, here’s a hint.
Too abstract? Okay, okay.
According to a poll of 5,000 recent brand-sponsored event attendees, purchase intent rose 11-52% after attending such events. About 50% of the time, people actually bought things they had learned about at the events.
The poll also found that business-to-business events (like SOBCon!) are especially good for selling to potential customers. 54% of 2,000 trade show attendees reported an increase in purchase intent because of those events.
There are at least 250 reasons why you should sponsor SOBCon.
We hope to bring in 250 smart entrepreneurial minds and stir them together for 3 days.
And have you considered the word-of-mouth marketing power those 250+ souls possess?
Together, their blogs and websites reach over 80 million people every year. That’s about 7 million people a month.
And these business bloggers – these SOBCon 08 attendees – are some of the most well-networked people in the world. When they hear about a great product or service, they can’t help but tell their friends about it.
I can think of only 2 legitimate reasons why you shouldn’t be a SOBCon sponsor:
1. You don’t have anything to offer an intelligent, business-minded audience.
2. You don’t have any money to be a sponsor.
In both cases, you’ve still got well over 2 months to come up with what you don’t yet have. 
And I promise it will be sooooooooo worth it for you. The ripple effect alone could be staggering.
